tumi-isi is a polyhedral wooden block designed to cultivate balance and a creative sense. It is an object that stimulates the imagination of the user by stacking, arranging, and decorating.

Each piece is hand-chamfered by a craftsman to a different size and shape, and crafted so that they fit together as a single object.
This product is BEAMS original product made from rewood/zelkova wood, with its beautiful and unique orange color.

We asked A4/Ayon to create "tumi-isi" from the legs of a Japanese zelkova table. The solid weight and deep color of the rewood/zelkova wood are emphasized in the product by the tumi-isi design.
Size: 5 pieces, large and small, approximately 50 x 40
・Specifications: Hand cut, oil finish

■About rewood
A single piece of board has been popular in homes across Japan since ancient times as the top of ``zashiki desks.'' Literally, it is a luxurious wood cut from a single log, and the wood used is trees that are over 200 years old.
It is a resource that can be said to be a blessing to the earth, but with the changing times, lifestyle habits have changed, and as the number of Japanese-style rooms has decreased, they are now discarded as unnecessary items. Therefore, we at rewood are working to rescue tatami desks from all over Japan and rework them into a form that fits modern lifestyles. We hope that by making use of the resources we currently have, we can help prevent over-logging and protect our rich forests.
